2003 Honda Element from North America

Summary:

I would probably buy another Element if the door lock and windshield issues are addressed by Honda.

Faults:

The first month I had my Element my windshield cracked. I was unaware of a class action until I had surpassed the mileage limit. My driver door lock started not letting the key enter about a year or so ago and now will not at all. Is anyone aware of this issue (along with the Windshield) or if there is a suit against Honda for any of this?

General Comments:

I love the Element, it is the most favorite car I have ever owned issued aside.

It does have quite a bit of wind noise.

Honda needs to address the windshield and door lock issues with current owners for return business!

This is my second Honda Element. I bought the first one in 2003. Then they came out with the one with painted panels, so I traded in for the 2006. I LOVE my car. However I won't be buying a third Element. I have repaired and replaced the windshield in both. When I contacted Honda, they said I should buy a bug shield for my car. Not the solution I was looking for.

Summary:

Company does not admit windshield fault

Faults:

Dealer sold w/repaired star, but later said I'd had repaired! Now crk across driver side, dealer won't replace under class suit... tiny star, but internal memo says they have discretion to replace if not a large rock, baseball, etc. Love car wish I'd known about windshield problem before purchasing.
